When I started fooling with the ST, the video connectors were near-
unobtainium.  I made my own using a bit of 0.100" perfboard, some D-
connector crimp pins and some epoxy potting compound.  The connector 
worked until the day I sold the box, almost 20 years later.

JDR did have the ACSI connector back then.  My hard disk was an OMTI 
SCSI-to-RLL converter board with another homebrew board piggybacked 
on to it to accommodate signal differences between SCSI and ACSI.   
It worked well.  I still have my driver code somewhere--as well as a 
PCB design program for the ST.

Cheers,
Chuck
